Hi Guys, Am looking for the above issue that is sold by Aquamarin. Unfortunately I missed this issue when they had it. Any reefers out there who have read it and have no use of it anymore, will pay the price you bought it for provided it is still in good condition. Thanks, Lee 9686 1314

Hello Everyone, After much deliberation I am thinking of selling my Atlantic Blue tang. Very healthy eats pellets, seaweed, mysis, henry's food, ocean nutrition formula frozen............actually almost anything. Very fat and active. Been with me for 9 months. When I first got him he was really skinny now fat fat. Currently about 5-6 inches in length. Asking for around $120. The reason why I am thinking of selling is because he likes to harrass my Golden Butterfly and gives it no peace. I also intend to add another butterfly. So you can imagine what the fellow will do.Whoever wants to buys it must have at least a 3.5 feet tank for it to swim. If not I cant sell to you cos it is too cruel to 'squeeze' him in. Basically if you can provide a good home then I will sell to you if not I am sorry. Here are 2 pics of it in my holding tank. Not the best shots though. Pls pm or sms me at 9686 1314. I will reply by this weekend as I am travelling at the moment. Thanks for viewing. Lee

Hi Guys, I have some artificial live rocks to sell since I have no use for them anymore. They look exactly like the real thing. Even got many patches of corraline algae colour on it. Quite a few people I know have been fooled into thinking that it is real including myself when I first saw it. Great for those who want to add a few more pieces in your tank. Much lighter than the real thing but will still sink. Total 7 pieces, about 3/4 pail full. Attached is a picture of it. I cant remember how much I got them for so please just offer a reasonable price. PM or SMS at 9686 1314. Thanks. I will reply by this weekend as I am travelling at the moment. Lee

Hi guys, So far I have been keeping FOWLR and am thinking of introducing an anemone for my true and false clowns. Can this be done with Angels and Butterflies in the tank? Also if can, any recommendations for anemones? I have a chiller so temp is not a problem. I understand that anemones 'travel' a lot. I hope to find a species that dun do as much, and hardier types would be better. BTW what is RBTA? Any help would be great. Thanks a lot Lee

My starfish actually move very fast around the tank. This minute here, half an hour later already somewhere else. Crawls on everything. I just got another starfish. This one hardly moves. Let me see if I have a pic

Currently reserve by a fellow reefer. Cheers.

Which medication to stop ICK?
contrails replied to johntanjm's topic in Disease treatment/parasite/pest control
Hi, I am not expert here. Please let me share my experience with you. I had the same problem as you. Started off with my Atlantic Blue tang and soon after all the fishes got it as well. After about a month of coming on and off, I tried Chem-Marin Stop Parasite. Treatment was suppose to be for 5 days but after 3-4 days there wasnt any sign of improvement. Also when doing the treatment you are not suppose to change water. In the end I decided that I would go the tried and tested method. Hypo. Took all he rocks and inverts out and hypo the main tank cos my other tank is too small for all the fishes to live happily for 6 weeks. Now all the rocks are in a big tub. After 1 week of hypo all the white spots gone. Now it is about 32 days and I havent seen any white spots since. It does work but you have to monitor the pH. Also with low salinity the skimmer doesnt really work so you have to monitor the water quality as well. Another 2 weeks and I will start raising the salinity back up. Am planning to run a UV once I bring the salinity up. For your case maybe you want to try using a UV first and see how? Please note that I am not saying that medicated stuff are no good. Just that it didnt work for me, doesnt mean that it wont work for you. But it is expensive and I reckon with the money that you have to spend you might as well use it for water change. I believe that they are pepper based. If you open a bottle you can smell the 'chilly' smell. One other reefer I met used a certain Kent Marine product, right now I cant remember the name. He swears by it. I dont know what the long term effects of the fishes' internal organs after doing hypo treatment. I guess I have to try and see how long they live after that. Hope you will sort it out soon. Cheers. -

Running UV with Hypo Treatment?
contrails replied to contrails's topic in Disease treatment/parasite/pest control
Anybody at all? Surely someone here has experience with hypo!!! -
Hello Everyone, Firstly, Happy New Year to all. I would like to ask if anyone runs UV together with hypo treatment? I am thinking of doing this but would like feedback from more experience reefers. Also besides pH and kH, do you guys monitor your calcium, magnesium levels during hypo since it would drop with diluted salt water? Thanks a lot and have a great reefing year ahead! Lee

Chem-Marin Stop Parasite
contrails replied to contrails's topic in Disease treatment/parasite/pest control
Hello Wai Yip, Thanks for your reply. Thats's very reassuring. Do you switch off your skimmer? All cotton wool out as well. Finally someone replied! Thanks again Lee -
Hello everyone, My fishes have got white spots. I am thinking of using this product. My brother past me his bottle and it looks really cloudy and smells a bit like chilly sauce. Is this how it is like or has it gone bad? Most importantly how effective is it? Any reefers care to share their experience with it? Thanks.

Copperband Butterfly - Feeding
contrails replied to imooi2001's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
Hi, I just buy from market, open it rinse in water then throw it in. Used to throw it in with half the shell. Then realized that it is damn troublesome to pick the shells out cos my tank is 2.5 ft deep. so now I just put it in without shells. Other fishes also go crazy with it. Tangs, Angels....... Hope it works for you. If mussels dun work try cockles. Damn strong smell. -
Copperband Butterfly - Feeding
contrails replied to imooi2001's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
Hi, Try Mysis. If still wont eat try mussels or cockles. My Butterfly goes crazy with cockles and mussels. Esp cockles with the strong smell of blood and all. Good luck feeding. Butterflies are damn fussy eaters. -
